as a guild leader, here is the advice i have for all new (and existing) officers:
1. discord chat is essential. you have to have a private room for the officers to talk about the guild and also just to blow off steam. but it’s also key to have a guild wide chat room to discuss any/everything and also to make announcements for the guild
2. delineate duties. it can get exhausting to have every officer trying to do everything so it’s nice to have one focused on TB, another on TW, another on raids, etc. organizing the officers and knowing each others’ duties will make life very easy.
3. have patience and set realistic expectations for your guild. let’s be frank, as a 65mil GP guild you’re not going to achieve 45/48 stars in TB or clear HSTR right away. accepting this and knowing that it’s a process to get better is the only way to future success. i am not one to mandate to my guild “you must level/gear up these specific squads” but it is good to provide broad recommendations on how to improve.
4. don’t be afraid. you are now one of the people in charge of the direction of your guild. trust your judgement and don’t be timid about it. i’m not saying to be a hard@$$ but you will have to lay down the law sometimes so own that fact.
5. have fun. at the end of the day, this is a game. enjoy playing it. if being an officer takes away from your fun, it’s ok to step down from the role.
